2022 Map of Lost Lake

About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates the northern shoreline of this region, defined by deep bays like Frazer Bay and Daisy Bay alongside the prominent Birch Point. This northern Minnesota landscape is characterized by its transition from open water to the dense wooded wetlands of the Superior National Forest. Modern trails and corridors, such as the David Dill-Arrowhead State Trl and Taconite State Trl, navigate through complex hydrography including the Lost Lake Swamp and the Pike River Flowage. The interior is marked by smaller basins like Lost Lake and Little Lost Lake, while Minnesota Highway 1 provides the primary east-west passage across the southern section. The presence of Gold Mine Cir near the shoreline hints at the area's historical prospecting, while the many county roads serve as access points to the intricate shoreline and recreational forest lands.
